Indie hackers is always my #1 to go to listen to cool stories from entrepreneurs.
In terms of books, I think "Zero to Sold" and "The Mom Test" were the most useful.
Share
@guar47 Thanks for sharing Dmitrii!!
Mom Test is indeed a must read for every entrepreneur, Ignore only if you don't care of user feedback XD.

The Lean Startup by Eric Rise is one of my favourite books. It is full of advice and inspiration for Entrepreneurs 😃

Book I read recently and really liked: Ego is the Enemy, by Ryan Holiday. Really opened my eyes to how I see and interpret things. Helpful at a professional and a personal level.
Podcast:
* Startup Therapy. Helps you see that a LOT of founder go through the same thing, and different ways to approach things.
* In spanish, I recommend: Tiene que Haber Algo Más. Its interviews with different professionals who changed the course in their careers and lives.
@m_guastavino Ego is Enemy is on my wishlist for a long time. I think you reminding mentioning it signal to read it 😁 Have you read Zero to one and The Almanack Of Naval Ravikant? They are my all time fav.
@m_guastavino I added your recommendations in this live list, do check out https://www.treeved.com/list/?id...
"Atomic Habits" by James Clear is seriously one of the best books I've ever read! It totally changed the game for me and the people I know, helping us develop habits that kicked our productivity into high gear. It's like a secret weapon for crushing goals and making big things happen!
@demilade_akinsola I guess I should give it a reread. Read it long time ago, and found it repetitive and basic, lost my interest mid way.
Adding it the list:

Huberman Lab podcast.. there is so much to learn. Not about entrepreneurship, but how our brains function and how to optimise our health.
@janine_nitz Have listened Huberman, he is just amazing.
added to list https://www.treeved.com/list/?id...
@janine_nitz love it also. But the eps are so long. DO you listen on 2x speed?
@james_hallahan no I don't.. it's so densely packed with information that I don't think I would get it all :). I do break the episodes up and listen to them over several days!
As for podcasts, I often listen to Diary of CEO: https://open.spotify.com/show/7i...
Books:
- Shoe Dog: https://www.goodreads.com/book/s...
- Zero to One: https://www.goodreads.com/book/s...
@elizabeth_tischencko Zero to One is one my fav. Shoe Dog is on my wishlist, hopefully gonna read it next month.
Added them all to list: https://www.treeved.com/list/?id...
@elizabeth_tischencko Diary of a CEO is my fav! Who was your favourite episode?
Currently listening to "Never Split the Difference" on Audible. Applicable to so many situations in business (and life). Definitely one I wish I had read sooner!
@wavezzapp Have read the hardcopy, amazing book.
My fav quote from it is "Conflict brings out truth, creativity, and resolution"
Added to list, check out: https://www.treeved.com/list/?id...
I recommend reading a biography of Richard Branson or the book Start with WHY by Simon Sinek.
@busmark_w_nika Added both to list, check out here:https://www.treeved.com/list/?id...
Btw I'm honored to be your 1000th follower😄🤩
I heartily endorse Eric Ries' "The Lean Startup" as a resource for books on entrepreneurship and personal growth. It's a classic in the startup sector and offers helpful guidance for creating and growing a prosperous company. "Shoe Dog" by Nike co-founder Phil Knight is a fantastic novel as well. It's an intriguing book that provides details about the founding of the business and the difficulties he encountered along the road.
I adore Guy Raz's podcast "How I Built This" as far as podcasts go. He speaks with successful businesspeople and delves into their accounts of starting their enterprises from scratch. It's instructive and inspirational. "The Tim Ferriss Show" is another excellent one. Tim speaks with a variety of guests, including sportsmen, scientists, and businesspeople.
@jackkdavies26 Thank you soo much sharing them... I got so many recommendations for the Shoe Dog that I Just ordered it from amazon and I can't wait to read.

Hey Satyanarayan,
One of my all-time favorite podcasts is "Lenny's Newsletter" by Lenny Rachitsky. His insights on product management, growth, and people operations are incredibly valuable for anyone in the startup and entrepreneurship space. Definitely worth a listen!
@svitlana_palamarchuk Surely gonna listen this weekend. Thank you sooo much for this beautiful recommendation.

@svitlana_palamarchuk I am a newbie to Lenny's Newsletter, but I love it and am binge listening to older episodes
'My First Million' has become a pretty frequent listen for me. Really good brainstorming and lots of ideas and possible paths to creating a bigger, successful company.
